Ford Escape Lease Questions

Comments

Just Leased a Kodiak Brown SEL AWD with 302A, MFT w/Nav, and aluminum wheels. A 24 month lease with 15,000 miles the MF was .00083 (2%) and the residual was 65 % . For each additional 1,500 miles beyond 15,000 and up to 19,500 deduct 1% from the residual.

So my deal was for 24 months @ 19,500 miles per year for a residual of 62%. I bought an extra 500 miles per year for a total of 40,000 miles in 2 years. The residual did not change you just pay .15 cents per mile after 19500.

MSRP with destination was $33,430. Settled on $31,200 sales price. I did not have a competitive lease bonus of $1000. So the sales price was very fair.

Would you be so kind as to post Ford's (or applicable) most recent lease rates and residual figures for a 2013 Escape SEL FWD 2.0L with 302A package and panorama sun roof for 36 months with 12,000 mile/year. I am in NY metro area. (Long Island)

Hi mck588. Ford Credit's October base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Escape Titanium FWD with 10,500 miles per year are 2.75% to 4.0% (this varies by region) and 60%, for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Hi kjasonasu. Ford's October lease program was scheduled to run through the end of the year. I haven't heard if there was any unscheduled changes made for November yet. Here's the latest that I have seen.

Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Escape SE FWD with 15,000 miles per year in the Phoenix area are 4.0% and 58%.

I was given a quote (via email) on a 36mo lease for a 2013 escape 302a pkg w/ 18" polished wheels. I gave internet manager all infor I wanted ($0/down, TTL rolled into payment). AFter I rec'd his quote, I then went in to dealership (Westway ford) in Irving to look at that specific escape. After my credit check was done (excellent score) and salesman came back to have me sign a form stating that if my monthly pymt was x, for this term, and x amount for my trade-in, could we do business today and I said yes and signed it. 1min later, the sales manager came in and told me (lie from what I've read on this forum) and told me Ford is not leasing this escape because its a "new body style" and no residual value has been determined. His price on the purchase was well over $170 more/mo than what I wanted to pay. I also told him of his BS (no residual value since its a new body style) because Mazda has a "new style" CX-5 and they are leasing them. I walked out of there angry because of the time I had wasted, especially after receiving an email quote (mo lease payment) from their internet manager. I will never shop at this dealership..Westway Ford in Irving, TX because of their lies and low-balling.

Hello Car_Man, I am a big fan of this forum. I am working on a deal right now for my wifes new car, and could use your advice.

I am looking to lease a 2013 Ford Escape SEL with FWD, 302A, 1.6, Sunroof, and 10.5k miles a year. Through a combination of $2.7k in equity(combo of trade & cash), and negotiation, we have arrived at a $275 monthly payment as an out the door price. Is this a good deal, or should I pass? I am also located in the mid-atlantic.

I'm about to lease my first car and am trying to tell if I am being offered a fair deal. Would anyone be able to tell me what the residual value and lease rate would be for a 2013 Ford Escape SEL with 300a package, AWD, 1.6 L engine, sunroof ( MSRP 31,840) for a 39 m lease, 15,000 miles. I am in the Connecticut area and have excellent credit. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Because of your trade, no one would be able to comment on whether it is a good deal or not. For example, if you are trading in a clunker and the dealer is giving you $2K for it, then your $275 payment is probably a great deal, but if you were trading in a 2012 Mercedes and getting $2K, the dealer could lease you the Escape for a penny a month and still make a big profit on the deal. I'm sure you're not trading in a Mercedes but you get the point.

my accountant advise: if you drive a lot..buy! if cruising city driving with occasional hwy...lease. Keep an eye on your mileage.Ford is out to make money, after sales, they dont give a hoot about you. Check the LemonAid guide.

Looking at leasing the 2013 Escape Titanium 4WD loaded with tech, parking, leather seats, towing package. 36 month, 12000 miles. I'm in the midwest (52241). How much room is there for negotiation at the dealer with these numbers? I've never leased before and I'm just curious how the haggling process goes compared to buying. Thanks!

I do not know the residual value & money factor used and he quoted me the following:24 month, 15K miles500 due at signing and monthly would be $350/month OTD (including everything)

I could only qualify for x-plan and there $1000 customer cash offer from Ford and not sure what else he was able to do it.How I can reverse calculate the selling price from the payment as I have never leased before.

Just ask what the residual is. Good place to start to figure out the numbers.Clicked on the Escape ad on this page found this info."Lessee has option to purchase vehicle at lease end at price negotiated with dealer at signing."I think it can kind of complicate things.There is a general leasing forum here somewhere.

Hi Car_man thanks for helping us! I was also looking for Money Factor and Residual Value on a 36-month lease @ 15,000mi for 2013 Escape SEL AWD. MSRP w/ dest and the options I want is $32,935.

I am in NJ and have good credit.

Are Ford dealers in my region kind with nixing any acquisition, disposition, and other stupid fees?

If I trade-in a vehicle, do I want to ensure the price I get is applied to cap cost reduction or goes towards paying the fees, taxes, etc? I'm confused when it comes to either calculating down payment and trade-in on leases and what to do with what I get from the trade.

Just as an update, here is the final deal on a Escape 2013 SE 2.0L Engine with some other options like Cargo management system for 2-year lease with $0 down, 15K miles per year is $329/month including tax and everything. I hope this is a decent deal.
